Connecting the Cables: ET0010A

Follow the instructions below to connect the ET0010A to the appropriate network devices (see Figure 22).

To cable the ET0010A:

1For initial setup, connect the RS-232 serial port directly to a PC or workstation. Using the null modem cable supplied by Black Box, insert the RJ-45 connector in the RS-232 port and connect the DB-9 female connector to your PC. This cable can be removed after initial setup is complete.

2Connect the Ethernet management port to a LAN using a Category 5 cable with an RJ-45 connector.

3Connect the remote port to the untrusted network, typically via a router port, using a Category 5 cable with an RJ-45 connector.

4Connect the local port to the local device, such as a server or switch, using a Category 5 cable with an RJ-45 connector.
